See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/gcc_4.html#SEC93
or any of a number of other on-line copies of the gcc documentation.
Gcc has a very powerful and cool means of binding C variables to
assembly-language operands.  The syntax can be painful, but you
can do amazing things with it - in this case, an in-line atomic add
for C.
